Texecom Premier Elite 24 Questions

[Newbietexecom24]

Morning everyone,

 

With it now being darker, I've got to be more security conscious than before and think about family safety, especially with high burglary rates around our area.

 

My main goal is to somehow enable the alarm to be activated at night-time, so that if someone breaks in downstairs, then the alarm triggers.  My current setup is 3 pirs in living/kitchen rooms and 1 in hallway, which is also where the keypad is located.  I also have a pir detector on the upstairs landing.  All of the alarm settings can be controlled with my pc as I have wintex installed and it's networked to the alarm.

 

Here is the dilemma:- 

 

1. If we enable the keypad from downstairs, then once the alarm is activated, the landing pir will trigger if there is movement.  So firstly I want to be able to disable this pir for the night, so that family can still use bathroom.  

2. How can I disable the alarm via the keypad, when we wake up in the morning, without triggering the hallway pir?

 

Thank you for your help

He uses the name 'giraffe' now...

 

What you need to do is make the hallway detector act as 'entry exit' at night, so that during the day, with the alarm set if someone comes in through a window etc... it causes or confirms an alarm,

but at night, i.e. when you come down in the morning, it only starts the entry/exit timer as if you had just come in the front door so you can enter your code / fob.

 

As you have wintex this should be very simple, but I don't really fit texecom so will leave the fine details to our David Attenborough hating, TSI native wildlife.

 

My only caveat would be, how young are the (I assume) kids, do they currently use the alarm, will they be going down the stairs in the AM and not knowing what to do with the alarm?

I am thinking of setting up a 090 technical number, what do you reckon Al?...

 

Anyway, how you program this would be dependant on a front door contact.

You haven't mentioned if you have one so Hall will be Entry and Landing would be off in part set.

In this configuration you can walk about on the landing and then the timer will start upon entering the hall. This would also be the same if a burglar entered the hall BTW.

 

Have you installed you own system or are you just querying if it's possible for an installer to do?

 

We are also assuming you have a Texecom Premier 24 from your username but you haven't actually named what panel or how old it is.

Well if you can pick a number which spells giraffe on keypad  that would be great , that way when trump does the deal you will toll free 1-800-giraffe

 

I want 20% for the idea

Hi everyone, 

 

Thanks for your help.  Sorry I forgot to mention that I also have a detector on the door.  I set this alarm up myself, but with a lot of help from a friend, whom is now not available as he's gone abroad.

I have some understanding, but not adept at using wintex, other than to change code etc.

 

What I've done though to help you guys is attach 3 screenshots of wintex, showing the Front Door (Door Contact), Hallway & Landing settings.  

 

I hope this helps, but if you require any other info, then please let me know.

 

Thank you.

 

PS. I'VE BLACKED OUT THE REST OF THE ZONES

I fail to see the need to blank out the other zones.

This is a Premier Elite 24 so fairly new.

All you need is to check Part 1 Omit on Landing save to panel and then use Code, Part and Yes to arm for bed.

 

[Newbietexecom24]

Thanks for that.  So other than enabling Part 1 Omit for the Landing sensor, do I need to change any of the other settings on the remaining sensors?

 

What is Part 1 Omit btw?

 

Also I don't use a code as I have a fob to scan.  But the way it's setup is that as soon as it's scanned, the alarm starts it's countdown, i.e. no options.  This is because the missus doesn't know how to use it and was setup for her.  I'm sometimes out due to work reasons for a few days every month, so she has to use it.  I know this is a bit of a long-shot, but is there any way that it automatically can detect by the time that it needs to part-arm for the bed?

[sixwheeledbeast]

You could switch on Auto Part Arm, but I have had mixed results with it and not used it in a while.

 

This means that sensor (Landing) will be Omitted while Part Arm 1 is active.

From your uploaded pictures I can't see anything else that needs changing.

[Newbietexecom24]

How would part-arm omit effect the alarm during the day?  Will the landing sensor not work at all?
